About this property
Cedar Haven
Enjoy a serene getaway to scenic Tobermory, situated on this 1.7 acre property entirely surrounded by trees. You will hear very little more than birds chirping and the distant sound of Lake Huron's waves hitting the shoreline.
Little Tub Harbour is only a 10-minute drive from Cedar Haven, where you can arrange glass-bottom shipwreck tours, visit Flowerpot Island or head out for a dive expedition. A number of casual dining options and light gift shopping are available there as well. For the active vacationer, this is the perfect location for kayak and SUP rentals. Are you planning a trip to Manitoulin Island? Book your crossing on the Chi Cheemaun -the Great Lakes' largest ferry.
This all-season custom-built home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, loft reading nook and a large open concept kitchen and living room with cathedral ceiling.
A short walk from the property will give you access to numerous trails and waterfront vistas, including the increasingly famous Sunset Park. A deck surrounds the home on three sides to enjoy a meal cooked on the available outdoor grill or to stargaze into Tobermory's notoriously dark skies. Too cold outside? Get your favourite book, a hot drink and enjoy a seat on our pull-out sofa in front of the propane fireplace.

House was clean and tidy when we arrived. The whole house is well appointed and well stocked with just about everything you could want or need, The property is secluded and in a very peaceful setting. We enjoyed several walks and the fox who visited us during our stay.Marc and Claudia were great to deal with right from the get go, were quick to reply to our questions and addressed any questions we had in a timely manner.We were two couples enjoying a little holiday getaway and would gladly stay at Cedar Haven in the future.
This was an excellent stay, the scenery and atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. I really loved the space and design, the washrooms are very nice & the bed was comfy. Only 1 minor inconvenience was that the inside of the oven was dirty and needed a wipe down. The owners were very easy to connect with and had everything labelled, I loved staying here & would stay here again in the future. Thank you!
This VRBO was fantastic! It was a luxury home with tons of privacy and space / yard to enjoy. It was very clean and well stocked with amenities and more. Our stay was very much enjoyed!
Lovely setting , accommodation and facilities. Tobermory and the national park all within easy access.
We loved the company of 2 friendly rabbits joining us each morning and evening by the deck .
Beautiful, clean, quiet and private setting. Close to Tobermory tourist attractions. Food at local eateries was very good! Wonderful experience❤️

We really enjoyed our trip. The cottage was beautiful, clean, and well situated for our hiking excursions. And even with the rain, we had visitations from some hilarious wild turkeys strutting across the property. Marc was very responsive when needed as well. Would highly recommend this rental property.
This was a beautiful, clean and very private spot in a great location. Perfect spot to come back to after long days exploring the unbelievable parks throughout the Bruce peninsula. The hosts were amazing to deal with, very helpful and welcoming. Can't thank them enough for a great experience!
Even if i try to find a fault i can't! Everything was perfect and the accommodations were top notch. Seems like the owners thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Can't wait to return.
This property is one of the most impressive we've enjoyed on any short getaway. The new cottage is secluded, near a beautiful Canadian national park, completely equipped and stocked, and immaculately clean. It had style, as well! The hosts were responsive, friendly, and helpful. Our stay was perfect.
This was a beautiful place to stay. Super super accomodations and very comfortable bed. I don't always sleep well and slept great here. No city light pollution at all. Great communication with owner. Thank you.
This was our first time in Tobermory and we could not have hoped for a better location. Although it was not a beachfront, we greatly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the forest and the nature surrounding us. The majority of the attractions were within 15-minute driving distance. The check-in and check out were easy.
Time flies by when you are at Cedar Haven.

Very nice house very clean everything you need is there. Very satisfied. The only thing negative I could say is that there is nothing around and it’s a bit out of the way. But it was great
The property is beautiful, clean, peaceful. The chalet is exceptional. The layout is perfect. We congregated in the main living space, kitchen/living room. The kitchen has plenty of space for cooking. The outdoor space is amazing as well. We also enjoyed playing corn hole every night after we returned from daily activities and we used the three decks around the chalet. A 5 STAR property. Great Hosts, can't ask for better.
A long time friend and I decided to do a hiking trip. She found the property on VRBO and it was BEAUTIFUL! It was well stocked and clean. The owners were easy to contact and even left a surprise for the visitors! The hiking trails were limitless and offered a range from easy to difficult. We hope to stay there again in the future and have already told numerous people about the home and pristine setting demonstrating God’s amazing creation surrounding us.
If you're looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful house, this will do nicely. Very secluded and quiet but close enough to everything you'd want to do. If hiking and rocky shorelines are your thing, better spend some extra time there...lots of that.
There are some "touristy" things to do in town...boat tours, shops, restaurants etc. Tobermory Brew Company was our favorite...lamb burger was excellent. FYI...don't ask for medium or rare burgers. Its apparently a no no with the govt.
Overall, good experience...Marc the owner seemed like a geeat guy...very helpful.
I honestly cannot say enough about this property. It was immaculately clean. Great layout - plenty big enough for 4 people. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. We used the kitchen extensively and they had everything. The owners attention to detail is excellent. Also, super quiet and private lot.
It is located less than a 10 minute drive from the town of Tobermory and about 20 to all the National Park locations. Not too close or too far from anywhere you want to go. And only a 10 minute walk to Sunset Park. You have to visit that park at sunset.
The owner was immediately responsive when I texted.
We really lucked out finding this place for our Bruce Peninsula vacation.
A beautiful, incredibly well stocked house in peaceful, beautiful surroundings.
My partner and I stayed for a week. We were without a car, and the owner was kind enough to provide bikes for us. The property is in a quiet part of Tobermory, so there isn't that much to do within walking distance, but with a bike or a car, we were within easy distance of some beautiful beaches, the Grotto, and the main Tobermory center with its tour ships, shops, ferry, etc.
Once we had access to a car again, we rented kayak/canoes/paddleboards on a nearby (~15 min drive) resort. We also visited Singing Sands Beach, which is stunningly beautiful and very well maintained. We also biked to the Tobermory center and to Dunks Bay.
The two water access points within walking distance (the one at Cape Hurd Rd and Sunset Park) have some lovely, peaceful views during the day, but require water shoes if you're planning to go in and get a bit buggy towards the late afternoon.
However, since I'm assuming the vast majority of people staying in Tobermory *will* have a car, it's an absolutely lovely place to stay. Astonishingly well stocked kitchen (I usually bring my own cast iron pan to cottages for cooking, but they already had one!), as well as plenty of entertainment options (books, games, puzzles, movies, etc). The owners have been incredibly thoughtful in equipping this place to be a true getaway.
What a beautiful and amazing home! The house is gorgeous, very well stocked and everything you could want. All the amenities you could imagine. It’s a beautiful area as well. We had one very minor hiccup when we first arrived that was immediately addressed and taken care of by Marc. He is the most responsive owner I’ve ever dealt with. Thank you, Marc, for an outstanding stay! We will be back!
Absolutely loved our stay at Marc and Claudia’s stunning, modern cottage in the woods. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. the perfect spot to return to after a fun day hiking and exploring the sights in Tobermory. Definitely one of the best VRBOs we have experienced.
We had a glorious and relaxing week nestled among the trees at Cedar Haven. Marc and Claudia have exceeded expectations when it comes to providing for their guests, especially in the kitchen. Thank you M & L
We loved this house! It is one of the nicest and best furnished VRBO houses we have ever stayed in. The setting is very private and is lovely. The house is beautiful, with lots of sunlight. I texted the owner as we were settling in with a question and he was responsive and helpful. It was a wonderful stay.
